How to Turn Off the Freezer in a Samsung Fridge

In a Samsung fridge, you cannot turn off the freezer alone. This is because both the fridge and freezer share the same cooling technology and condenser. And the coldness that you feel in the fridge section comes from the freezer section through the damper control.

Therefore, you can’t turn one off without turning the other off, too. But even if you can turn off the freezer alone, the fridge will have no other means of cooling. So, it will become warm.

To turn off a Samsung fridge, you either unplug it from the power source or shut down the circuit breaker through which the fridge accesses power.

It’s important to note here that some Samsung fridges have power buttons on the top of the fridge door. These buttons could be used to either switch on or switch off the fridge without unplugging from the power source or shutting down the circuit breaker.

Why did my Samsung Fridge Turn off?

The following are possible reasons why your Samsung fridge turned off:

1. Damaged Power Cord

Check to see if the power cord is fully plugged into the power source. If it is not, unplug it fully and plug it back in, making sure that it is fully in this time.

Then, check to see if the fridge has come on. If it hasn’t, check to see if the cord has any damage to it or is burnt. If it is, replace it or call a Samsung Service Centre nearest to you to report the issue.

2. Shut-Down Circuit Breaker

Check to see if the circuit breaker that controls the supply of power to the fridge’s wall outlet is tripped off. If it is, unplug the fridge before switching the circuit breaker back on. Then plug the fridge back into the wall outlet.

3. Sudden Power Surge

Sometimes, at the restoration of power, surges could happen and it could result in the damage of the unit or some other part of the fridge.

Contact the nearest Samsung Service center to report and request service the issue if such a thing happens. This is especially true if the unit is still under an active warranty.

Note: Some newer models of Samsung fridges come with built-in stabilizers that regulate power, thereby making it possible to avoid damages from surges.

Recap

If you are looking for how to turn off a Samsung refrigerator, take care not to touch the condenser, the compressor or any other electrical part at the back of the refrigerator with wet hands as this could lead to instant electrocution.

Also, be mindful that you do not stand on wet surfaces as you make contact with a fridge. This can also result in electrocution

Remember to contact any Samsung Service centre nearest to you for repairs in the case of damage(s) to the refrigerator’s unit or part. Alternatively, chat with any of the refrigerator repair agents here. They are readily available to assist you with any appliance question you have.
